I get confused with flathub for flutter. However, the appImage is available from my website. We have made a no-root install script. I have released it.. I will copy the sh file here for now.. and copy to my website as well. After that, this issue will be closed.

Would you like to join our team? We are writing in Flutter. it is easy to learn,but I also have nonflutter tasks to do. Transforming and getting data ready, Documentation, etc. You can send an email .. same as my username to gmail.

Please test these two files for installing appImage.. no root is required. Make sure the appimage (from my website) and all files below are in the same directory. https://github.com/bksubhuti/tipitaka-pali-reader/blob/master/utility/tipitaka-pali_installer.sh https://github.com/bksubhuti/tipitaka-pali-reader/blob/master/utility/tipitaka_pali_reader.png

Perhaps at some point in the future venerable. I'll be going offline for a couple of months in the near future. I'll send an email to make contact.

The script worked splendidly. There is just an error for the Name variable in the .desktop file

Thanks, It is fixed now. I think there is not much need for snap or flatpak now that we have an install script and appimage. The snapcraft report had like 16 or 25 users for TPP in 2 years and I'm sure more than 85% are comfortable with no-root appimage. The only loss is the store listing, but I don't think we really lose any users due to that. AppImages are so easy to make and snap for flutter is incredibly tedious and does not work. I gave up. If you want to build a flathub and have detailed instructions you ran, I might be willing to do so, but I really don't believe it is worth it. I don't know how to make a metadata for this app. If we have that it would be better for listing . Furthermore, we can list on appimage hub.

My friend wrote the appimage no-root install script for me and there is no need for root.
He also helped us get started with classicaltheravada.org

Flathub is now listed on the main page with build 59. Enjoy. There were actually 180 installs on flathub already which is half of the Mac/ios combine. However, I might bet it is just downloads and people who reset their system re-download the app. Let me know how it goes. If you are able to test with a clean machine this is best. Built with linux mint based on 22.04
